A fellow who has a funny bone can learn to hone his skills, but I don't think you can develop a funny bone - you either have it or you don't. And by the way - when you get it, we don't know it.

Lust is easy. Love is hard. Life is most important.

Everybody wants to laugh - you know that. They need to laugh... people need to laugh.

I write books that way - I put a first line down and say, "Where does this go?"

I think that comedy really tells you how it is. The other thing about comedy is that - you don't even know if you're failing in drama, but you do know when you're failing in comedy. When you go to a comedy and you don't hear anybody laughing, you know that you've failed.

An attitude will give you heft.

I'm a charming coward; I fight with words.
